Blog 5: Celie and Mr. ______ ----- Celie is married off at a young age to a man that actually wanted to marry Nettie instead of her. The man has children and his wife died when they were young. Celie reluctantly marries the man and then spends much of her life with him. Good and bad things came out of the relationship. Celie was at least in a home and had provisions, but she was abused on a daily basis. Mr. _____ verbally abused her as well as physically abused her whenever he felt like it. Their relationship was never based on love, just on necessity. Celie needed a place to live and Mr. _____ needed someone to care for his children, cook, clean, and do the housework. Their relationship changes when Shug is brought into the house. Mr. ______ was in love with Shug since they were younger. They never married because Shug didn't want to get married. When she stays at the house, Mr. ______ sleeps with her and thus forgets about beating or abusing Celie. Celie enjoys having Shug there for those reasons. After Shug and Celie decide to move away, Mr. _____ realizes what he has lost. Years go by and and Celie sees Mr. _____ again after Shug has left her for a younger man. Celie and Mr. _______ now have a different relationship. They can relate to each other now because they have both been in love with Shug and she has left both of them. Mr. ______ actually got his life together and tells Celie that she is worth something and that he shouldn't have treated her as he did. Celie is a new woman at this point and she has no problem talking to him or telling him what she thinks. They often spend time together sitting on the porch just being together. The change in their relationship was one of the most drastic changes throughout the book.
